[Applause] This is Chris in Boise. In this video, we're going to show you how to power wash a fence. We got a fence here in the background that's got a lot of mildew on it. What we need to do is we need to get rid of a lot of that black mildew off the fence. So, we're going to be using a power washer with the 4,000 PSI to actually strip and get a lot of that old wood off the the fence and get a lot of that discoloration before we actually put our stain on it. and it gives um the fence a lot better look if you really strip a lot of that wood off. We're using a 4,000 PSI MITM power washer with a rotating nozzle. And this rotating nozzle, it actually rotates and spins and it actually will strip and tear wood off extremely fast versus using just a flat straight nozzle or a round nozzle. Over here we got the power washer. We'll show you how to start it up.
